57th Vuelta al Pais Vasco 3-8 April 2017

Anyone know Urán's intermediate?

EDIT: There he is

 

[Cance > TheRest]

No surprise Alberto is faster on the climb. It won't help much if Piti claws back his advantage on the descent

 

[luckyboy]

Wow that is awful even for 2015-2017 Urán

 

[burning]

I really love these random Basque climbs that are not in profile

+1'28"

Awful

 

[Velolover2]

Uran terrible in the TTs these days.

Re: Re:

Valverde faster then 15.00 on the climb?

Really?

Not sure that's where Ainara is taking the times

Valverde 15'25"!

VAMOS ALBERTO!!!!!

I also had a bit of a heart attack when I saw his time at 15' when he had already passed the summit

 

[Valv.Piti]

Hahahahah Urán, what happened man.

Go Valverde, what a final this will be!

 

[El Pistolero]

I think Contador is going to lose this again by a few seconds.

 

[rhubroma]

Uran way off.

Re: Re:

I'd like to see Michael Woods do really well here, he's been riding fantastic all week long.

It's about time his hard work is paying off!

He's a very poor TTer though. It would be unexpected.

I guess I've never paid much attention to his ITT, I had no idea it was so poor.

Maybe with the form he's on he can pull off a nice one today.

 

[bajbar]

6 seconds now between them. I don't like Contador's odds with those close finishes...

 

[Velolover2]

Valverde 2nd.

Tight between the two.

 

[burning]

I still think Ion will win overall, we will see

 

[Arredondo]

Valverde the better descender. Alberto should hold this on the flat!

 

[rhubroma]

Valverde 9 sec. slower than Contador at midway.

 

[silvergrenade]

6 secs to decide victory

Re:

Spoiler: He wouldn't.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Re:

I also have that feeling. Vamos Alberto!!!!

 

[silvergrenade]

Valverde looking slick on those descents. He's pushing like an animal. VAMOS!

Re:

Agreed. It is one of the charming things about the race

 

[LaFlorecita]

GPS shows Berto is gaining om Valverde, not sure it can be trusted though! Would like to see the gap with Izagirre

Contador has this in the bag. Surely even he can't have paced it badly enough that he'll throw it away. The extended push from the mechanic has swung it for him.

C'mon, you can't be serious...
